Program Description

This multidisciplinary program will offer a choice of a combination of business, psychology, and Asian studies courses. The main part of the experience will be held with Dongbei University of Finance and Economics in Dalian China. Dalian, unlike most of China in summer has very pleasant weather and is a multi-ethnic port for Manchuria, as it is close to Korea, Russia, and Japan. The courses will be taught by KSU and DUFE faculty, together with joint projects and social events with DUFE students.

We will visit Beijing, Dalian, Shanghai, Harbin, and Xian. Students will have many opportunities to learn basic Mandarin, study Chinese culture, meet local Chinese students, indulge in the life of a Chinese student, as well as study for 3 to 9 course credits
